Bette Midler – From the movie Stella

Songwriters – Jay Gruska / Paul Gordon

I am a huge Bette fan, so this was a total pleasure. The track was arranged by Robbie Buchanan, and produced by the late, great Arif Mardin. Unfortunately, the movie that this appeared in wasn’t quite so special, but in my humble O, The Divine Miss is always special. I spent a couple of days in the studio with her and think she is a beautiful human inside and out. Paul and I had a Razzie award nomination bestowed upon us for the song, so did Bette for acting, which most people would hide in shame from, whereas we wear it as a badge of honor. Love you Bette.
